Title: slab sided vega body
Post by: pdaly28 on November 10, 2017, 01:07:14 PM
not so much of a wip,more like an exersize.It's been sitting on my bench for a couple weeks so I cut the sides off and slab sided it and then narrowed it.just fits over a kit frame

 :)  Pat, I find those " just something to do " cars usually turn out to be not only fun, but also some of our most pleasing  builds. 

Keep'er goin'.

I agree, Gary!!!  Looks like an asphalt modified to me also.  Pat, don't take me too seriously because I tent to think out loud and it's not my build (obviously)...i would imagine you're already formulating a plan and I'm excited to see what you do with it!!!  Nice bodywork, by the way!!!
